Officials in St. Kitts reported to the Associated Press, that two masked gunmen held up a tour bus, robbing 16 cruise ship passengers from the Celebrity Mercury.

The robbers reportedly blocked the road with a fallen tree, as passengers were on their way to the Brimstone Hill Fortress. When the bus driver got out to clear the tree from the road, the gunmen stormed the bus, robbing everyone of their cash and cameras before disappearing into the woods.

Police are searching the area for the gunmen.
